Injury report: Alterique Gilbert, who missed nearly all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery, banged his shoulder in UConn’s loss to Michigan State at the PK80 Invitational and is considered day-to-day. Gilbert played in the Huskies’ tourney finale against Arkansas and scored just one point in 17 minutes, sitting out much of the latter half. He has had multiple surgeries on his shoulder over the past few years. Meanwhile, Eric Cobb, who missed all three PK80 games with a high ankle sprain, is also considered day-to-day.

Larrier fine: Terry Larrier, who turned his ankle late in the Arkansas game, is fine and will be good to go on Wednesday night. Larrier missed nearly all of last season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in November.

Road warriors: Columbia is in the midst of a seven-game road swing to begin the 2017-18 season. The Lions are 2-8 all-time against UConn. The last time the teams met was Dec. 22, 2014 at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport - an 80-65 UConn triumph.
